Bug #9796 2006-12-22 10:45

File->Open does not work with files other that *.c *.cpp etc

Hit File->Open or the corresponding icon in the toolbar. Then select another file filter in the dialog, for example "HTML files" or "All files".

If you open a file with C or C++ source code the file is opened just as it should. But if you select a different file (for example *.txt or *.html) nothing happens, even if the correct filter is selected.

Code::Blocks revision 3412, wxGTK 2.6.2, gcc 4.1.1, Linux.

This also happened with revision 3383 on the same system.

I found the reason for this behaviour: I had the file extension handler plugin disabled. After activating this plugin the problem did not occur anymore.

However instead of just ignoring this problem I thing a warning or an error message should be displayed if Code::Blocks can't open the specified file.

I've got the same configuration than yours.

This problem seems to be solve.
